Identity and form
Tamanu oil is pressed Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil and is principally a topical material; oral and topical evidence should not be mixed.
The label should identify the source, form, preparation, and active or marker amount when those details determine comparability.
What the evidence can answer
Human research has examined Tamanu Oil in relation to skin, hair, and nail structure. The amount, source, preparation, population, comparator, and measured outcome determine whether a result applies to a finished product.
Current WQ evidence label: Limited human evidence. This label describes the present evidence context, not a promise of benefit.
Safety and decision context
High-caution knowledge. Topical, homeopathic, food, and oral concentrated forms are not interchangeable. Source-specific allergy and cross-contact need label review.
Review medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding, allergies, medical history, and the complete finished label with a qualified professional when relevant.
